Diving Figures, Two Maquettes by Stella Shawzin, Bronze, 90cm high, Abstract, Body, Figurative sculpture
This piece is a bronze sculpture standing 90 cm high. It depicts two separate divers frozen mid-air, each captured in a dynamic forward dive. Both figures stretch one arm ahead while the other flows back, and their legs kick up behind them. Their heads tilt slightly forward, focusing on the space below.
Each diver balances on an outstretched hand, supported by a tall stand that angles them downward. The positioning creates a striking sense of motion and tension, as if they are moments away from entering the water. Shawzin sculpts the bodies with careful anatomical detail, emphasizing muscles, curves, and the natural flow of the human form.
The faces remain abstract and minimal, directing attention to the motion of the body rather than expression. The bronze surfaces are smoothed, yet lumps and bumps remain, adding texture and enhancing the visual energy. The rich brown finish deepens the sense of weight and presence, contrasting with the airy, suspended pose.
Overall, the piece captures both strength and grace. The dual figures interact visually, complementing each other in mirrored yet independent motions. Through this work, Shawzin conveys movement, balance, and athletic elegance, transforming a fleeting dive into a sculptural moment of suspended energy and fluidity.
